Says prepared for shipment, but my ship date is still April 11th and delivery date is still the 14th. Everyone else got a bump up? What's up with that? :(

They did not get a bump. Their shipping and delivery estimates are exactly the same. Those dates do not change when the order is "prepared for shipment." When it actually ships is when the shipping and delivery dates will change.

Should I expect a bump then? Or am I going have to patient just a little longer :)?

Especially since Hdfan ordered theirs 3 hours after me and their ipad already shipped today, is going to get his on 4/7? No fair! haha

Judging by what others are saying, yours will probably ship soon. And yes, you will need to be patient just a little longer. ;) Just think, you're a lot farther along than me (ordered March 17 with ship date estimate of April 21)! Hopefully I'll see some action on mine next week. Being patient is hard work!

My status changed couple hours to prepared for shipment. Original delivery April 11th and arriving on the 14th. I placed my order on March 14th. I wonder if my ipad will leave from China tomorrow( Sunday) Apple upgraded my shipping to 2nd day delivery.

For the one that already received their ipad how long does is change from prepared for shipment to Shipped status?

People who placed orders on the 15th are already seeing their cards charged. Ours (I ordered on the 17th too) will probably ship next week. You won't have to wait until the end of April. Hell, you won't even have to wait until the middle of April.
 
Why are there flights from AK to HK but not from HK to AK?!

I'm stuck in HK forever, huh?
